Title: HLP Requests - Includes hosting
Post by: Shrike on August 13, 2002, 04:44:46 pm
A slight permutation on what we've done before, this thread will serve the usual 'I need something done please' purpose, but will also cater to those looking for hosting.

So basically, if you're looking for hosting, you can post here to show off your site and get public feedback on your potential future site.  Note however that we still expect an email, this is a supplement to normal channels, not a replacement.

So in essence, a combination feedback and request thread.

The Mind Games Team are hoping to get hosted on HLP. I`ve already sent an e-mail to Cobalt Starr as suggested on the HLP Hosting page but I`ve not heard anything back yet and I sent the mail over 3 weeks ago.
Title: HLP Requests - Includes hosting
Post by: Shrike on August 13, 2002, 06:29:51 pm
Eh, Cobalt's been pretty busy lately... And then there's the staff shuffle, etc.  Which is why I asked everyone to resend an application to make sure we got everyone.

I know it's a pain, but that's what happens when everything occurs at once.
Title: ITHOV
Post by: Thor on August 13, 2002, 08:35:35 pm
Styxx has all the details for ITHOV's hosting request in a PM I sent him.  If you need it again let me know.  This is just a heads up.

Title: Rise Of GCA
Post by: Zarax on August 14, 2002, 08:26:44 am
Rise Of GCA already asked hosting two or three times last month, but despite affirmative answer, nothing has been done about hosting...
Our web site is http://www.galacticcorporationalliance.cjb.net.

Rise Of GCA is an innovative campaign that takes place shortly after capella, and makes use of intelligent guesswork based on FSURP info.
It offers "innovations" like intelligent resource management, based on mission outcome, realistic battle strategy and field deployment, a realistic "cloaking" system and much more...
The demo mission is available on the website.

Me, Zylon and Wildlife have been discussing a campaign for quite a while but our efforts keep getting de-railed when the various free hosting services we use keep nuking our BB and everything on it without warning. Some hosting would definitely be handy. Would you provide us with a private BB for a brief period of time or do the rules say it has to be public?

The reason you haven't heard anything is because we're trying to get everyone who needs hosting in one batch to send off to GS.

However, for what it's worth, we have decided to host you guys, we're just waiting to see if there's anyone else.

ITHOV is getting hosted!  Yay!  Thank you.  I'll tell the website guys to get going on a new, frameless, design.  And best of all, no popups.  Thanks for the good news Shrike:wakka:

What we should do is make a little page with all the FS (and FS community) smillies on it, and stick it somewhere on the HLP server.

i'm also waiting for response since 2 months, actual site is in signature, but i will surely redesign it as soon as we get hosted.

thx in advance

The Combat Federation would love to be hosted.  The current site, undergoing massive changes with a real web designer....not me, is in the signature.  The email has been sent off to cobalt.  A little about us?  We plan to give the player control of fleets in which to fight a 4 way war.  You also get to choose who you fight for.  In addition to the 6 episodes planned, we also plan to release a few mini mods.  Work is already well underway on this mod, and probably next week we will be starting the missions.  

Another shameless plug for the CF from ShadowWolf.

E-mail: [email protected]
Name: Robert "Fozzy" Forsyth
Website: http://www26.brinkster.com/fargate
Campaign name: "The Far-Gate Project" (this might change)
Forum caption: "As I walk through the valley of death. I shall fear no shivan."

Brief Intro:
The far-gate project which I am thinking about renaming (using the poll facilities in HLP) is about a secretive organisation taking the best SOC pilots to a base beyond the nads system, where lies the "far-gate" a device which can allow the user to jump through any konossos device and back again by manipulating the very fabric of space.
 
My storyline will be situated around the first uses of the far-gate and a disaster will unfold.

Fetures:
Many new ships, weapons, interface, hud pictures, and hopefully the use of the fs2_open.exe

Why I should be hosted:
I should be hosted because my campaign is very original, and it is a huge task to undertake myself and hopefully popular project. Every member of HLP can take part in its devlopement due to frequent competitions (logo, ship design, ect...)and poals.
Title: HLP Requests - Includes hosting
Post by: Fozzy on August 25, 2002, 12:30:14 pm
Any feed back on how you choose the campaigns to be hosted would be apretiated.

who are the admins that decide

and reasons why my campaign was not selected to be hosted (if that is the case) would be apretiated so i can make improvements.

If you need anything clarifing please feal free to email me @

Inquistor does a lot of great stuff, but not coding at the moment, hes not got a dev machine set up at the moment. I dont know much about IceFire, I thought he worked for the B5 people or something.

We have a list of testers (8) but thats only cos I set it up yesterday.

I think its all the people requesting things that makes us look bigger than we are. While this is a useful thing that we know what people need, wants dont generate code.
Title: HLP Requests - Includes hosting
Post by: ShadowWolf_IH on August 28, 2002, 05:48:05 am
an internal forum for their convenience, as well as the public one that they have.  That way they can use that for discussions amongst themselves concerning some of the code and stuff, and not have to sift through a million new ideas.  Just a matter of convenience for them.  They are the ones doing us a favor...in my opnion we should give them carte blanche to whatever niceties we can provide.

That sounds familar. Im sure whoever is invloved in this has a lot of stuff to do but there is an annoncement on all the boards for this (which isnt entirely clear in itself). What I would expect if not an answer is a notificatation that your request has got through and will be considered.

I'm the one who has to send the mail off, besides, I'm looking for your guy's opinions first.  I was hoping that there's be enough replies that I could say 'ok, this is the best idea, lets do that' then mail things off, not having to worry about someone popping in two days later and going 'hey, I have a better idea!'

It's kind of pointless asking for people's opinions then making a final decision after only two of them replied.

But it seems that there's only three active admins.... :doubt:

I need short-term hosting at this stage for a site, but I have no intentions of showing the flash intro for another 2-3 weeks... I can upload the splash page at earliest time this Friday hopefully. :p

Plz send account data if you accept to [email protected]

Thanks :D

Yourselves. :D

No, honestly, we're dealing with your requests, so there's no need to nudge anyone about them. We've got a lot of things going on, perhaps too many things, but we're on it. :yes:

Can I get hosted just in order to use a better server than Geocities so that people can see my art right away when I upload stuff instead of having to find somebody else to host stuff for me?

Look at my gallery! Click on the avatar!

AFAIK, FTP access will be assigned along with the hosting stuff sent by email to gamespy. Don't have a cow; I don't even have FTP access yet! :p

Forum access I've been trying to take care of as soon as I see it mentioned here; have I missed anything?
Title: HLP Requests - Includes hosting
Post by: Stealth on September 12, 2002, 10:29:38 am
yeah but it's friggin' gay!  i mean i've got to work on projects, and as soon as i finish a mission there's NOTHING else i can do with any of the campaigns because i'm waiting for FTP access!




i mean, take your time, i'm just drawing your attention to it all...  you can do everything except the two FTP accesses (first and last in the list)

i mean, everything else you can do yourself!

OK, i'll make it easier for you!:

  • ~--Setekh Cards Submission--~ thread can be unstickied and closed
  • i'd like my site 'mini-banner' to be added to the HLP main page (bottom left)
  • my site added to the 'hosted sites' page
  • Casualties of War (headed by aldo_14) needs a forum (public and private)
  • i'd like a forum too, public and if possible private, but it's not urgent

:rolleyes: Ok, all those, with the exception of the Setekh Cards thread (which, in case you already noticed, is unstickied...) go along with getting hosted. Which means, once you are hosted, those will be done. Clear? Good.

Oh. I knew that. I did - really! Uhmm... *runs*

*shrugs*  ok, cool... like i said, it's not urgent, and aldo just has a lot on his plate right now (i'm sure you can sympathize) and he's not doing the job he's supposed to do (i.e. ask for his own forum) because he doesn't have time!  sound familiar?

lol, haha, just kidding ;)
i'm sure it must be reealll hard being an admin

well anyway, i'll tell him to get in touch with you... any news about my forum?  (this is not an urgent matter whatsoever, i was just wondering)... and also could i get my 'navbar' in the main page linked to my site?
Title: HLP Requests - Includes hosting
Post by: Shrike on September 12, 2002, 10:04:19 pm
Yeesh, it'd take two seconds next time he was on HLP to ask for a forum....

As for yours, do you honstely need one?  Will it have at least a modicum of traffic?

CoW is Casualties of War.  It's a mini campaign.  As it stands there is only 1 mission left to be built for it.  So unless stealth has it done already, i'll be getting busy on it tomorrow morning.
Title: HLP Requests - Includes hosting
Post by: Stealth on September 12, 2002, 10:07:48 pm
lol, if you don't want to give me a forum just say so man!

i mean, it wouldn't be any Nodewars forum, but comparing it to other forums you've got hosted now such as 5th sun and temporal mechanics that the administrator hasn't made a post in like 6 months, i guess it'll be better than that!
 
but i mean, if you don't want to i'm cool with that, i just thought it would be nice.  i can do without one, just thought it would be nice to have.  if you're worried i'm going to *ahem* just take up space, then don't worry about it

I never said I wasn't going to.  But we're currently looking at trimming the forums, so you can see we don't want to add more empty forums.  Looking at your site it seems it'd fit better to have topics in FS modding than a seperate forum.

To be completely honest, your site, although quite impressive design-wise, is a bit confusing to me when I try to figure out exactly what it's for. How about outlining your Grand Plan™ ( :wink: ) for the site, and the kind of posts you envision would be on your forums, both public and private - so we know. :)

And of course, if you don't feel like spilling the beans in public, my PM box isn't full - yet. ;)

:D does HLP need an admin adviser...something like that, I'm willing to help if you need one that is, to join the admin to be a bit more specific.

Another matter: about space, I was thinking about this add for 250MB and 25GB monthly transfer and it only costs US$8.00 a month. Now thats a deal!! But if we could all theoritically pitch in say about 32 of us AUD: 50c each a month it would be great but the system ain't work like that because transferring money just cost like 20x times more, so I might have a server freely available for HLP hosted sites..I'll see the prices first and then give ya all the info I found and then go from there.

my site is not about a campaign or some massive MOD that i'm working on... it's a site about Freespace 1/2.  information about it, downloads for it (a more extensive download page than ANYONEs, and with a mirror site hosted by myself, so it's probably the most reliable too)... i have tutorials and information for newbies and veterans alike

hopefully one day i can start my own campaign too though

http://www.3dap.com/hlp/hosted/reciprocity/casualtiesofwar/main.htm

is CoW.... but I've never really felt that it requires a forum... technically, it's a sort of very loose prequel to Reciprocity (look at the history tech section in the Reciprocity site - http://www.3dap.com/hlp/hosted/reciprocity/techColonyWars.html), so if anything it would be in the Reciprocity forum...but it's a different staff (bar me), so internal forum access would be a bit tricky in that respect.

I told him that Aldo should rename the campaign for a critical reason... That Acronym: COW

     With this in mind would it be rude to suggest a contest called "Rename Aldo's Campaign"?

Seriously Aldo I am just joking!
No! NO!! NO!!!

Right now i've only got FTP access to my directory (/hosted/stealth) which is cool.  At one point a month or so ago Alicki gave me his FTP login and password so that i could do some stuff to the Neo Terran Victorius page, but that was long time ago, and i've deleted the PM with the password in it, so i don't know that or need it anymore.

Right now all i need access to is:  (/hosted/gtdwolf) and (/hosted/fsport) but i understand if you've got other stuff, do it whenever you have a chance :)

I thought the entire HLP site was on a HTTP server not a FTP server, you must be talking about file and image hosting because dynamic gamespy is a HTTP server the way I see it... perhaps you could further explain!

Is there going to be a newer better front page version ever, for HLP that is, you'd think the HLP Admins would have a website wiz on the team. (or was Setekh the one who designed it all...) or you dudes can't be bothered.

The majority of the HLP pages are on the 3D action planet server, whereas the forums are on one of the dynamic servers.

As for a new frontpage, we're not thinking about that at the moment.  I think most of us are pretty busy in RL at the moment so any big style changes can wait.

Regardless of HTTP or FTP server pages and files are uploaded and modified via FTP in the majority of instances. Only exception to this is GeoCities-like PageBuilder crap that does it via an actual web page.

So in order to add/remove any buttons to/from the fornt page, one needs FTP access to that 3DAP (HTTP) server.

Comprende, amigo? :D
